The Reds said Tuesday afternoon that Monday’s bee-delay was not the first time it’s ever happened.

In fact, the Reds and Giants were delayed for 35 minutes on April 17, 1976 due to bees.

Yesterday was not the first time the #Reds have ever been delayed by bees. The Reds and Giants were delayed 35 minutes on April 17, 1976 because of bees (an 11-0 Reds win) and, in fact, it also happened 32 years ago this week! 🐝 pic.twitter.com/HYLlPIwbgu
